The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards is just right around the corner, and this one is shaping up to be a good one for MTV’s biggest night. Now celebrating it’s 30th year of the awards ceremonies, appearances and performances by the likes of Katy Perry, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, and Robin Thicke to name a few. Also, aside from leading up the nominations this year, Justin Timberlake is this year’s recipient of the Video Vanguard award, and a rumored N*SYNC reunion performance is in the books this year. I know you’re excited for Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick. Anyway, here are my predictions on the major categories on who will end up with moonmen on Sunday’s ceremony:

WHO WILL WIN: Between the Video Vanguard award, the rumored N*SYNC performance, and his huge comeback this year, MTV is setting this up to be JT’s big night, and it won’t be complete if he doesn’t end up with the highest honor for that night. Plus, he still hasn’t won here yet, and it’s a great video to represent him here.RUNNER UP: Taylor Swift. This is still a fan-voted format and Taylor is campaigning the hell for a win this year. Besides, the last six winners here are solo female popstars and Swift fits that bill.MY CHOICE: JT. Probably the one that stands out the most, thought that’s not saying a lot.

WHO WILL WIN:JT easily. It will be one of those sweep wins for his big night. This win will also put him on a tie with Eminem as the most rewarded act in the history of this category with three wins apiece.RUNNER UP: Robin Thicke. Turning out to be the song of the year by far, they can easily throw him a bone here.MY CHOICE: Ed Sheeran. Let’s throw him a vote come on guys. 🙂

WHO WILL WIN:Taylor Swift. It will probably be an easy win for Taylor as she’s sure to end up with a moonman on Sunday. The only scenario I see that lets her lose here is if she wins Video of the Year inside.RUNNER UP: Miley Cyrus. This song is peaking at the right time, and her legion of fans will propel this to a win.MY CHOICE: Rihanna. Probably the best video in this bunch. Simple and effective.

WHO WILL WIN:Austin Mahone. Catering the left over conservative Bieber fanbase and opening for Taylor Swift can propel him to a win here.RUNNER UP: Zedd. Clarity is the biggest hit in this group and he can benefit from that.MY CHOICE: Maybe Zedd. But where’s Macklemore and Ryan Lewis here? This would have been an easy win for them.

WHO WILL WIN:Miley Cyrus. I think she has better chance here than in Female since her fans are the most active among this bunch unless…RUNNER UP: this is still part of the Timberlake sweep so he can easily take this one too.MY CHOICE: fun I guess. I’m not a fan of most of the videos here.

WHO WILL WIN:No idea, but the combo of recent rise to popdom and being the most recent here, I’m thinking Imagine Dragons.RUNNER UP: Jared Leto is on the show as a presenter, so that’s one assured nominee who’ll show up so maybe 30 Seconds to Mars?MY CHOICE: Vampire Weekend probably since they’re the ones I like the most in this group.

WHO WILL WIN:As a result of their good breakout year and as the other most nominated act (aside from Justin that is), this is Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to lose.RUNNER UP: Probably Drake since he’s still 0 in terms of VMA wins.MY CHOICE: Can’t Hold Us is one of my favorite jams this year.

WHO WILL WIN:With the VMAs being held in Jay Z’s place this year, there’s no better way to give back to Jay than by giving him the moonman adding up to JT’s domination on Sunday, so I say Suit and Tie wins.RUNNER UP: Blurred Lines since it’s the biggest hit in this line up.MY CHOICE: I’d probably throw Pink and Nate a bone here and give them my vote.

WHO WILL WIN:An easy win for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Plus, it talks about a hot topic that’s really rampant right now.RUNNER UP: Beyonce just to make this more ridiculous as she wins for a live video. Oh and remember we’re in Brooklyn.MY CHOICE: Same Love is the best song here and the only one deserving of a win.

WHO WILL WIN:Two words: BLURRED LINES.RUNNER UP: Maybe Miley comes closest to Blurred Lines here. Though she’s far and away a distant runner up.MY CHOICE: Daft Punk and VMA only happens once in a blue moon, so why not grab the chance to vote for it?

There you have it! Are you excited for the 30th VMAs? Don’t forget to watch the show on Sunday!
